You can find this plant anywhere and it’s worth getting so that makes life easy, eh? Hosta ‘Krossa Regal’ is a large, upright, blue-grey, vase-shaped plant. It’s a nigrescens hybrid that is a classic beauty. It has been a rather slow grower for me but I haven’t heard that from other people so it may just be my lousy soil.
The only warning I will give is that this is a plant that you will very often see in the large box stores, home improvement centers, etc. Beware that the plants in these stores are often infected with HVX, a virus for which there is no cure. You have a better shot at getting a healthy plant if you purchase it from a reputable nursery who can tell you whether or not thier plants are healthy.
